Jordan Spice (28, USA) took the chance to win in his hometown of Texas.
Spies tied 6 birdies and 1 bogie in the 3rd round of the PGA Tour Texas Open (total prize money of $7.7 million) held at the TPC (par 72) in San Antonio, Texas on the 4th (Korean time), 5 under par 67 I hit it. With a median total of 12 under par 204 strokes, he was tied for the lead alongside Matt Wallace (England).
Spice, who appeared brilliantly with his first win in 2013 and two major tournaments in 2015, fell into sluggish after collecting the 11th championship cup in the PGA Tour’s career at the British Open (D Open) in July 2017. Entering this year, he was a tie for 4th in the Phoenix Open in February, a tie for 3rd in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and a tie for 4th in the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March. Wallace, who won four wins on the European Tour and moved to the main stage on the PGA Tour last year, cut five strokes just like Spice and took the lead.
Spice, who started as a tie for second place on this day, received the acclaim of the gallery at the 17th hole (par 4). The driver’s shot rolled down the cart road on the right and stopped on the dirt road on the right. After dropping without penalty, he made a flop shot from about 50 yards, and the ball that rose high fell onto the green and stuck 1m inside the hole. Spice also took the lead with Wallace, who also caught a birdie in the hole. Charlie Hoffman, who drove the daily best 7-under par, was in third place in the first stroke alone (10 under par), and Cameron Tringalley (above the United States), who lost one stroke after starting with the lead in the second stroke, was in fourth place (8-under par). .
Among Korean players, Lee Gyeong-hoon (30), who reduced two strokes, was ranked the highest with a tie for 21st at a 3-under par. Kang Seong-hoon (34) and Kim Si-woo (26) are tied for 26th in the 2-under par, and Choi Gyeong-ju (51) is tied for 39th in the 1-under par.
